The station is on South Gyle, Edinburgh, making the car park the most direct choice for passengers arriving by car.
National Rail records a drop-off and pick-up point at the station, alongside bicycle facilities (nationalrail.co.uk).

National Rail lists 63 spaces at the station (nationalrail.co.uk), making early arrival more relevant on busy weekday mornings than relying on a large city-centre-style car park.
The station information identifies the facility as station parking and records a drop-off and pick-up point (nationalrail.co.uk).
